ALPS-SFAS

  • Heritable disorder of apoptosis, resulting in the accumulation of autoreactive lymphocytes.[1]
  • Manifests in early childhood as nonmalignant lymphadenopathy with hepatosplenomegaly and autoimmune cytopenias.[1]
  • Patients with mutations have developed B and T-cell lymphomas.[2]
  • Peripheral blood analysis in patients has demonstrated hypergammaglobulinemia along with increased numbers of B and T lymphocytes.[3]
  • Some studies have demonstrated that ALPS is compatible with long-term survival.[4][5]

Types of mutation

  • Type IA is caused by heterozygous mutation in the FAS gene (TNFRSF6, or CD95)
  • Type Ib is caused by heterozygous mutation in the FAS ligand (FASL) gene (TNFSF6 or CD95L)

RALD(RAS-associated autoimmune leukoproliferative disease)

  • Originally considered a subtype of RAS due to the significant overlap.[6][7]
  • A leukoproliferative disorder characterized by lymphadenopathy, splenomegaly, and variable autoimmune phenomena, including autoimmune hemolytic anemia, idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura, and neutropenia.[6][7]
  • Some patients have recurrent infections with increased risk of hematologic malignancy.[6][7]

Mutated genes

  • NRAS and KRAS

Cryopyrinopathy(Muckle-Wells Syndrome)

  • Caused by heterozygous mutation in the gene encoding cryopyrin (NLRP3) and the locus identified at chromosome 1q44.[8][9]
  • Characterized by episodic skin rash, arthralgias, and fever associated with late-onset sensorineural deafness and renal amyloidosis.[10]
  • Limb pains emphasized on as a feature.[11]

Hypereosinophilic syndrome due to somatic mutations in STAT5b

  • Characterized by atopic dermatitis, urticarial rash, diarrhea and eosinophilia

Chronic mucocutaneous candidiasis

  • Includes a group of rare disorders with altered immune responses, selective against Candida.[12]
  • Characterized by persistent and/or recurrent infections of the skin, nails and mucous membranes caused mainly by Candida albicans.[12]
  • Can also be associated with autoimmune polyendocrinopathy-candidiasis-ectodermal dystrophy (APECED) syndrome which is driven by Mutations in AIRE (autoimmune regulator).[13][14][15]
  • High titers of neutralizing autoantibodies against IL-17 and/or IL-22 are also detected.[16]

Adult-onset immunodeficiency with susceptibility to mycobacteria

  • A disorder predominantly found in Southeast Asians.[17][18]
  • Associated with severe or disseminated infections caused by non-tuberculous mycobacteria and other opportunistic pathogens such as non-typhoidal salmonella, cytomegalovirus, varicella zoster virus and some fungi.[19][20]
  • An infection may act as an initial trigger for the production of autoantibodies with repeated infections leading to increased activity.[19][20]

Recurrent skin infections

  • Patients with recurrent staphylococcal cellulitis and subcutaneous abscesses have shown high titers of IgG1 autoantibodies against IL-6, a pleiotropic cytokine released by several important cellular lineages of the skin.[21][22]
  • The autoantibodies against IL-6 prevent the increase in CRP concentration during infection and the impaired IL-6 mediated immunity contributes to the disease development.[21]
  • Autosomal dominant deficiency of signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) can also lead to cutaneous infections typically caused by Staphylococcus aureus.[23]
